This typeface has a hand-drawn marker/brush look with uneven stroke widths, tapered terminals, and subtly ragged edges that preserve the feel of quick lettering. Forms are tall and condensed overall, with narrow counters and lively, slightly inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph. The stroke rhythm is energetic rather than smooth, with angular joins and occasional hook-like endings that create a scratchy silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share a simple, print-like construction, while round letters stay somewhat oval and compressed.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality matter: posters, headlines, book or zine covers, packaging, and comic or title-card lettering. It can also work for punchy captions or pull quotes when a handmade, slightly spooky or whimsical mood is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is quirky and spirited, with a lightly eerie, storybook edge. Its nervous, scratchy energy reads as informal and expressive, suggesting handmade signage or stylized journal lettering rather than polished typography.
The design appears intended to capture spontaneous, hand-lettered character with a brush/marker tool—prioritizing personality, motion, and tactile edges over strict uniformity. Its condensed stance and sharp tapers suggest a display-focused alphabet meant to stand out with an expressive, slightly mischievous voice.
Spacing and proportions feel intentionally irregular, giving words a bouncy texture in lines of text. Ascenders and descenders are relatively prominent compared to the compact lowercase body, and several glyphs show calligraphic flare through pointed tips and flicked terminals.
